08.21.11 Model Railroading Update Video of Railfanning, Weathering & Layout Projects

Well here it is, FINALLY!!! I finally took the time to make a video and edit all the past video I recorded and found a way to incorporate it all in one video. This may be the last video for a long while but let's wait to see how my Weekends back at home go and then I will know if other videos will be done while in training. Wish me luck!!

@vzjtothalo1 I didnt want to tell everyone because of the Stalking haters I have but they would have so much work to get to me in the NEW HAVEN fire department. That is where I got on at. My starting pay is great money to me at $45,059 first year with full benefits. I am so excited and happy. Oh yeah, I LOVE AA Hobbies too!! ;)

My current engines are DC can they be converted to DCC??? I really like to get me a NCE Powercab. I am currently using 3 power packs on my current layout and would really like to make the swtich to DCC. Right now I can't afford to buy any DCC engines unless I get some really great deals..

[MonsterRailroad]

@gil6114 Yes every engine that you own that is currently DC can be converted over to DCC by simpley buying a decoder for $18-28 and then installing them into the engines as you get money. You can slowly convert all your engines to DCC or take a huge leap and do them all at once. The DCC I use is Digitrax and I always recommend that system because I have owned and used lenz in the past and now Digitrax. NCEs Throttle is way too big. It is a Bulky throttle, go with Digitrax.
